I want to know where are all the prosecutions of the motherfuckers that
caused us to come to this point! That's what I'd like to know Mr. President. Where is YOUR Justice Department?

8. Looks like a lot of people missed it...
It's been in the works for a very long time. It takes a long time to build a case like this.

5. Obama and Holder prefer prosecuting medical marijuana growers...
to prosecuting people who actually do harm to others.

"Yes, we can -- do whatever the hell we want."

10. DU has really jumped the shark
The outrage is outrageous.

People have no idea how hard it can be to prosecute a case and that they have to be carefully built. And you can't waste time and resources on an "iffy" case.

What's next? Surely he's done something we haven't heard about yet.

TARP fraud Some in the financial industry were not using the money for the reasons the money was injected. Others further abused investors after the TARP legislation was passed by telling investors their money was invested in the federal TARP financial bailout program and other securities that did not exist. Neil Barofsky, Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP), told lawmakers, "Inadequate oversight and insufficient information about what companies are doing with the money leaves the program open to fraud, including conflicts of interest facing fund managers, collusion between participants and vulnerabilities to money laundering.<59><60>

In its January 2010 quarterly report to Congress, SIGTARP has opened 86 and has 77 ongoing criminal and civil investigations as of December, 2009.<60> The first TARP fraud case was brought by the SEC on January 19, 2009 against Nashville-based Gordon Grigg and his firm ProTrust Management.<61> The latest occurred in March 2010, with the FBI claiming Charles Antonucci, the former president and chief executive of the Park Avenue Bank, made false statements to regulators in an effort to obtain about $11 million from the fund.
